Note to the college student who was doing his nervous best to pick me up in the bookstore earlier tonight: while yes it was sort of amusing that you're so excited that an actual female is perusing the manga section that you attempt to pick her up despite her monosyllabic answers, it is best to be heeding this advice: when you're trying to chat up a girl, please to not be digging your pants out of your ass with your other hand.

Some balding older man tried to pick me up in the coffee shop this morning (I was studying, I had earplugs in and everything). He tried to start a conversation with me and asked if I was a student at the local university. I said, no, I'm a med student.

Now, I didn't want this old guy to hang around, but as soon as I said that, he was off and out the door quicker than you could say butternut squash.

"I'm a med student" must actually mean "I'm really a man". Or "I bite the heads off of chickens."

Pro-tip for the ladies. If you want them to leave you alone, tell them you're pursuing higher education. And then say butternut squash.

I suspect fixing them with a beady eye and shrieking "Butternut squash!" might work. It would encourage the really weird ones, though.

I very carefully did not show this kid - he had to have been 15 years younger than me - the FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST on my bag, otherwise I'd have to endure him talking about that, as well as his ranting bout the One Piece dub.
